Win the market before your competitor calls us.
We optimise your company and give you a unique edge. We work with only one partner per industry.
Don't compete on price. Leaders compete on systems.
Excel, paper slips and a call to the shift supervisor.
Orders, drawings and stock levels live in a dozen files. Every change to an order risks a mistake on the shop floor.
You don't know where an order is or what it really cost.
You learn the status and the cost after the fact, late. Pricing decisions rest on estimates.
Process knowledge lives in a few people's heads.
When the foreman goes on holiday, production slows down. A new hire takes months to learn the ropes.
Every industry has room for one partner.
We work with only one chosen company per industry, so that two leaders never cannibalise each other.

Your industry isn't on the list? Be the first to claim it.
Claim your industryYou no longer need a software vendor. You buy intelligence as a service.
Software has stopped being a product in a box. Code gets written faster than ever, so the program alone no longer gives you an edge. What does is how well the system understands your company, how quickly it draws conclusions from your data and how smoothly it changes with the market.
Yesterday · a software vendor: You buy a licence and pay per seat.
Today · intelligence as a service: You pay for the result, not for licences and hours.
Yesterday · a software vendor: You fit the company to the program.
Today · intelligence as a service: The system learns your company and suggests decisions based on data.
Yesterday · a software vendor: Every change is a new order, a new quote and weeks of waiting.
Today · intelligence as a service: Changes ship continuously, as part of an ongoing partnership.
Yesterday · a software vendor: The vendor sells the same app to ten companies and counts the profit. You don't know your competitor bought exactly the same.
Today · intelligence as a service: We work with one company per industry. What we build together never reaches your competitor.
You're not buying another program. You're fitting a turbo to your V8.
4 key resources.
How does it work?
Every engagement is different. But from us you always get:
- 01
Company audit
An audit of where your company stands today, with proposed changes to optimise it.
- 02
Market audit
An analysis of your market and where it is heading.
- 03
Tailored software
Software that brings the best practices set in the audit into your company's everyday work.
- 04
Marketing strategy
A unique marketing strategy and UGC content, built for you with our tools.
- 05
Measurable progress
You watch your sales grow and the time you spend running the company shrink.
We don't disappear after go-live.
We don't work time & materials. This is a subscription partnership: we answer for the result in the long run, and the system grows with your company.
A conversation and an industry availability check
We confirm your industry is free and reserve it while we talk.
Production process audit
We're on site, mapping the flow of orders, materials and information.
MVP deployment
A working system on the shop floor in 4 weeks.
Growth under the licence
The system grows with your company into the full version.
A project, an invoice for hours, a handover and the end of responsibility.
A partnership that pays off. Month after month.
You can't build a leader while arming its competitors.
Exclusivity is our commitment. While we work with you, we turn your competitors down. Even when they arrive with a budget ready.
The seat is yours for as long as we work together. You keep it with an active licence. When it ends, the industry goes back on the list.
Your processes won't end up with a competitor. The know-how we built together works only for you.
A closed network of leaders. You grow together.
zt1 partners meet at closed meetings: owners and boards of companies that each lead a different industry. Together they form a strong network that, through synergy, breaks through limits and lets companies grow in a way that is out of reach for businesses outside our partner network.
zt1 partners only. One company from each industry at the table. Nobody competes with the person next to them, so the conversation is honest.
Sharing what works. Suppliers, people, processes and AI tools. What has proven itself in one industry reaches the others.
Contacts and joint projects. Referrals, shared customers and projects none of the companies would reach on its own.
“If we sell the same tool to ten companies in one industry, none of them gains an edge. That's why we build one leader per industry and answer for its results.”

The questions we hear most.
01What exactly does “one company per industry” mean? How do you define an industry?
An industry is the manufacturers who compete for the same customers with the same product. A maker of made-to-measure doors and a maker of windows are two different industries. We agree the exact scope in the first conversation and write it into the contract.
02What does it cost and how does the subscription work?
You pay for the MVP deployment and then a monthly licence under which we maintain and develop the system. We give you a concrete quote after the process audit.
03How long does the MVP take?
We have a working system running on the shop floor 4 weeks after the audit ends.
04What about our current systems (Subiekt, Excel, others)?
We integrate with what works, Subiekt for example. Excel and paper we replace step by step, department by department, without stopping production.
05What if we decide to stop working together?
Your production data belongs to you. The notice period is 1 month. Once we part ways, the seat in your industry goes back on the list.
06Is this for a small company?
We work with manufacturers employing 20 to 300 people. If you're smaller but growing fast, let's talk.
Room for one company per industry. Hello, still free?
